RNA Standard Deck: Mardu Vampires

One of the interesting decks that I spotted while watching the Mythic Championships live coverage last weekend was the one piloted by the Pro Player Joe Soh. He made a Mardu rendition of the Vampires deck from Ixalan. Given that there were enough shocklands to fix the mana color, also seeing the potential of Judith which made it in the list. I saw in one game on the featured match area that he was at the all-in attack versus Mono Blue Tempo deck with Judith, Vampires tokens and other weenie Vampires. Unfortunately, it was not enough to kill off the opponent. Two turns later, he died to unanswered flyers of the Blue player. That round win would’ve gotten him a Top 8 slot.

Anyhow, I am sharing the decklist below which I plan to build soon once we get back our Godless Shrines and with a few twists of course.
